Dr. Grabow Pipes

O.K. gentlemen, I've got far too many pipes in my e-bay store so.....for this week and next I running a special on the 'buy it now' store items: free US postage and only $2.00 plus insurance ($1.75) for International shipping!

Just make sure you e-mail me BEFORE you pay and after you click 'commit to buy' and I will adjust the invoice.

I sent this out to my store e-mail subscribers and figured I'd make available on this forum as well.

with an apology to Gig and my other good international customers, I've have too many claims of undelivered packages in Italy, Russia, China and Brazil to continue international shipping without insurance. With my small margin every pipe I 'lose' that way means eating up the small profit on 3 other sales.

Well, for example to Albania, approximately 3 oz ships for $3.12 first class International plus insurance of $1.75 for a total of $4.87 - I eat the difference between $3.75 and $4.87. $1.12 - not too bad.

I wrap well in bubble wrap - stem separated and use a padded bubble envelope. I have had no breakage problem at all, domestic or international.

I've got so much bubble wrap that if I every go completely crazy, I won't need a padded cell, just paper my wall with bubble wrap.
